Overview
LSESU is committed to enhancing the sport and physical activity experience for commuter students. Our ongoing project aims to better understand and define what it means to be a commuter student at LSE. By working with the institution, we help students identify themselves and their unique needs, laying the foundation for consultations and the development of initiatives tailored specifically to commuter students.
In the past, we have provided dedicated sporting opportunities for the Commuter Student Society, and we have more exciting projects planned for the future. These initiatives are designed to make it easier for commuter students to engage in sport, connect with peers, and feel part of the wider LSE community.
Keep up to date with upcoming opportunities and events by following the Commuter Student Society Instagram page and visiting this webpage regularly.
Commuter Student Definition
Over the past year, we have worked to establish a clear LSE definition of what it means to be a commuter student. Having a shared definition helps us better understand and support commuter students, while also giving students a clear way to identify themselves and their experiences.
“A student whose nearest rail station to their term-time postcode is in London fare zone 3 or beyond.”
Now that this definition has been adopted, we want to hear from students who fit within these parameters. We are looking to better understand the barriers you may face when engaging with sport and physical activity at LSE, and to explore the initiatives, opportunities, and support that would help make participation more accessible and inclusive.
If you would like to get involved or collaborate with the Students’ Union on these developments, please contact Dan Smith (Physical Activity and Wellbeing Coordinator) at d.smith15@lse.ac.uk.
